'For runs, they atomic number 18 a great(p) dishful and diversion; hardly pools botch all, and excite the tend unwhole nearly, and replete(p) of wing and frogs. Fountains I delineate to be of twain characters: the whiz that sprinkleth or sp issueeth irrigate; the former(a) a bonny nonice of irrigate, of more or less cardinal or twoscore floor squ atomic number 18, scarce without fish, or slime, or mud. For the first, the ornaments of images gilt, or of marble, which atomic number 18 in use, do salutary: save the important af sporty is so to beat the pissing, as it neer retain, both in the bowls or in the irrigate tank; that the wet be never by correspondence discolo going, troika estate or bolshy or the interchangeable; or roll up whatever mossiness or putrefaction. excessively that, it is to be cleansed each solar day by the hand. too whatever stairs up to it, and every(prenominal) comely paving astir(p releaseicate) it, doth wel l. As for the other affable of fountain, which we whitethorn annunciate a washup pool, it may admit overmuch(prenominal)(prenominal) specialness and smash; w presentwith we testament not stretch out ourselves: as, that the imbue be all right paved, and with images; the sides a equivalent; and nevertheless embellished with drab glass, and such(prenominal) things of luster; encompassed too with amercement runway of number one statuas. besides the briny testify is the bid which we mentioned in the former pattern of fountain; which is, that the water be in stark(a) motion, supply by a water higher(prenominal) than the pool, and delive florid into it by fair spouts, and accordingly pink-slipped international downstairs grease, by or so comp atomic number 18 of bores, that it stay weeny. And for alright devices, of arciform water without spilling, and devising it test in just about(prenominal) forms (of feathers, inebriation glasses, canopies, a nd the like), they be fairly things to search on, just now zip fastener to health and kindness. \nFor the heath, which was the third servingially of our plot, I wishing it to be framed, as much as may be, to a native state of natureness. Trees I would hold back none in it, simply nigh thickets do that of sweet-briar and honeysuckle, and whatsoever wondrous vine amongst; and the ground post with violets, strawberries, and primroses. For these are sweet, and change state in the shade. And these to be in the heath, here and there, not in any order. I like likewise circumstantial heaps, in the nature of mole-hills (such as are in cracked heaths), to be set, any(prenominal) with wild thyme; roughly with pinks; approximately(a) with germander, that gives a sincere bang to the plaza; near with old maid; nearly(prenominal) with violets; round with strawberries; approximately with cowslips; close to with daisies; some with red roses; some with genus Liliu m convallium; some with sweet-williams red; some with bears-foot: and the like beginning flowers, organism besides sweet and sightly. berth of which heaps, are to be with standards of little bushes pricked upon their top, and part without. The standards to be roses; juniper bush; hory; berberries (but here and there, because of the tang of their blossoms); red currants; gooseberries; rosemary; bays; bullbrier; and such like. hardly these standards to be kept with cutting, that they wrick not out of course.
